Shadow Beast
She's the monster in the shadows other monsters used to fear.
Now she's the last of her kind.
Kasima Smith grew up in human foster care, without any knowledge of her birth family or her origins. Then her monster emerges in a moment of extreme peril and her life is changed forever. Now a student at Darkmore Academy, she's tasked with keeping her head down and learning how to somehow control the monster inside.
To make matters worse, she's forbidden from using her newly discovered shadow skills because as it turns out, she's the only monster of her kind left in the world and will be hunted if she's discovered alive. Then, she realizes fellow student, Jahrdran Vilnik, is hunting her. Whether it's because he plans to kill her or claim her as his mate is anyone's guess.
Darkmore Academy may not survive the shadows or the chaos that Kasi brings with her.
Note: Shadow Beast was originally published under the title, Monster's Reward, as part of the Blackthorn Academy shared world. It has been lightly revised for re-release as the first book in the Darkmore Academy trilogy.
